High Tide Music Festival has locked in its 2026 lineup, confirming 60 artists for the boutique coastal event set to return to Riverfront Park in Charleston, South Carolina on 5th - 6th June, 2026. Celebrating its fifth year, the independently run festival continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the United States’ fastest-rising electronic and crossover music gatherings, blending global names with emerging talent across two sun-soaked days.

Leading the 2026 bill are chart-topping duo The Chainsmokers and festival favourites Louis The Child, both set to headline the milestone edition. Also featured prominently are Bob Moses, performing a special club set, and Elderbrook, who will deliver a DJ set. German genre-blender BUNT., melodic house talent Jackie Hollander and rising Los Angeles act Ranger Trucco further elevate a lineup designed to balance commercial appeal with underground credibility.

Beyond the headliners, High Tide continues its tradition of spotlighting breakthrough artists, with names including Bass Zaddy, Leah Funkē, Nezz, BVR, Hi Ed and DJ Nor_Way adding depth to the weekend. Organisers have curated a diverse mix of house, indie electronic and melodic dance sounds, reinforcing the festival’s identity as a carefully programmed alternative to larger-scale US dance events.

Originally scheduled to debut in 2021 before pandemic delays pushed its launch to 2022, High Tide has since grown into a staple of Charleston’s summer calendar. Presale tickets for the 2026 edition go live at 10am ET on 13th February, 2026, with two-day passes starting from $169. With its fifth anniversary on the horizon, demand is expected to surge as the Lowcountry prepares for another high-energy waterfront weekend.
